MIAMI (AP) _ The hype that engulfs the Super Bowl is O-K with Bears wide receiver Bernard Berrian.

He says he's comfortable with all the interviews and lights.

But Berrian and fellow Bears receiver Muhsin Muhammad have been a bit overshadowed by the Colts' talented wideouts Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne.

Berrian showed early he could be that deep threat by hauling in a 49-yard TD pass on Chicago's first series of the season against Green Bay. He's also scored on throws of 41, 40 and 34 yards.

Muhammad's style is a contrast to Berrian. He's more of a possession receiver, catching balls in traffic instead of breaking down the field like the faster Berrian.

Muhammad is in his eleventh season. He has encouraged Berrian to practice at the same speed he uses in the game.
